Pet care experience

Here to provide the best!

Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! Throughout my life I have owned, cared for, fostered, and worked with many different types of animals- dogs, cats, horses, chickens, cows, reptiles, and fish. I love connecting with animals! I don't just go through the motions of feeding and walking your pet. I make sure that they are as comfortable and happy as possible by catering to their basic needs as well as their emotional needs. I can offer flexible, thorough care. Currently, I am only offering walking and drop-in visits. I am located in mid coast Maine. Shoot me a message!

Dana was wonderful! She took our two dogs for a midday walk and us sent pictures and notes. They were clearly enjoying their time outside with Dana! Highly recommend!

Dana was a pleasure to work with. It didn’t take long for our usually shy cat Raider to become comfortable with Dana and realize that he had a new friend!! ☺️

I prefer to meet pets prior to the booking. if that is not possible, I like to know their routine, meal times and portions, medications, their personality, their quirks, favorite thing to do and any other unique aspects to your pet! You know your pet best, and I'm here to listen in order to give your pet the best quality of care. I have a lot of experience with aggressive/fearful pets. However, I do request that any history of aggressive behavior, such as biting, be made known before the visit is booked. I will not care for an animals with a history aggression without and meet and greet first.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
